I hate those tight parks.  :fighting:

Wouldn't it be easier to open the drivers door parking the other way around, leaving the passengers to get out before parking? :confused:

At least the car next to you looks reasonably decent and the owner probably wouldn't want to damage it and you have a column on the other side. better then wedged between two cars
I was glad to see the car next to me was still the same when i returned. Its not easy keeping the car dent free over here.

I probably could have saved myself a climb over the passenger seat going straight in. The cars on either side were touching the back wall luckily the van had a tow hitch so i could squeeze through.

Thanks @Morgen

Can't bring myself to go outside and look at the damage yet, especially as insurance will say its an "act of God".

I hate living in the countryside sometimes!

So, how's the damage then?!  :scared:

Just had a nice chat with Nige at BCS. Ordered a CAT back Prestige system  :happy2: Lead time is @ 2 weeks. Very impressed with their ethos in what they do. My daughter is counting down the days to Christmas, I am now counting down to BCS!!!  :party:

Yeah it's impressive. I'll be going Stage 2 soon, already Stage 1, just got to sort out a full BCS then it'll be another trip to R-Tech.

270 is a really good peak figure. Is that mainly from the Ramair kit then? I've always been a bit dubious about just how good these intakes are, but maybe I need a rethink...!
